THE CHIEF

Absolutely a npas would be used to keep the fps at a safe and legal limit

To be honest I don't intend to use either, I'm quite happy running it on green gas or propane. It just came up in a conversation as a theoretical at work. Is there any benefit to using a more powerful gas? Does it make it more gas efficient?

Hello gbb knowledgeable's... Question. It's a warm summers day and you are running a WE gbbr. If you have fitted an Npas to bring the fps to a safe limit and run black gas what would happen? Nothing of note, it kicks harder, it blows up?

Vietnam jungle boots for me. Once broken in they are like trainers. But they do need braking in well before a game. Failing that magnum's are great hard wearing boots.

Some days I am an unstoppable killing machine where even a cursory glance at a bush results in 10 crys of HIT!!! Other days I get an absolute beat down never seeing where it came from. Both of them are just as fun to me. I like a good fight. The one thing about airsoft is its not pay to win. Some of the most fun I have had is with a cheap trishot shotgun. Feel free to wander around the safe zone and look at other people's kit. Most players are more than happy to let you give it a try Last time I was at dragons lair I was passing around the M60 to rental players so they could have a blast.

Tadpole sparse tiger stripes for me. Desert tiger stripe if I'm feeling fashionable. Good old DPM if the weather is shite. Faded DPM is like an invisibility cloak when compared to fresh DPM.

As a prop maker I have quite a critical eye for these things. It bothers me when a gun is worn in places that it just wouldn't be. It can be done well, that GPMG above is superb! Looks like the barrel is still warm. But generally let it happen naturally.

Octagon airsoft sell them ready made if you need one

Impressive work. Reminds me of a guy who used to go by candyman on yea olde black and white forums. He made a beautiful walther WA2000 out of a gbb pistol

Anyone bought one of these? I really fancy one but they shoot hot out the box. Apparently the power down shells don't fit. Anyone been able to tame it down a bit?

Best bit of kit. An old claymore bag. It's the little black dress of war. Goes with anything and will hold almost anything you care to take. Need 2 bottles of ammo, a spare battery, water and a pistol? No problem. Worst thing? Ummm... My WE makarov. MY makarov. With the barrel extension its too hot, with it off it shoots about 20ft and won't hop a .25. My Ct25 out shoots it all day. I love the thing but it certainly needs some work out the box. After marui's akm I really hope they make a decent makarov PM.

Had this discussion with a chap at work who has started playing. Do I need a scope? I don't care for them personally. At the range we shoot they just give you tunnel vision. Waiting in an ambush position looking through an acog or similar with give you a very narrow window to spot something. With out it you're peripheral vision will help you spot much more. If you use mesh that can make things harder. Maybe some yellow tint lenses or prescription inserts if you need them.

Do not wear mesh or any type. It's like wearing sunglasses. Depending on what the game is you will be shooting less than a regular game day so you won't need uber ammo. If you normally wear trainers (not a dig) wear proper high boots as you won't see rabbit holes very easily. Slow and steady movement. Take a decent torch to break times if you are eating in the woods. A small torch for actual game play. And yes camouflage works exactly the same at night as it does in the day. Black does not make you a predator all of a sudden. Have fun!

Western arms para ordinance and infinity's used to rule the roost. Guided V12's, gigant if you was a looney. Maruzen MP5K's that would blow apart any time. Always wanted a maruzen tech9. Missed out. I used to spend ages flipping through the smk catalogue I remember a guy called Simon at tech brigade buying a western arms U. N. C. L. E p38

If people like you didn't we wouldn't have gotten the M733 and M14 from TM! Trying to think of all the craze weapons now. There was the blackhawk down stuff. Classic army m15cqbr builds. I remember that having the magic gearbox (apparently). Western arms infinity race guns.

It's amazing what you used to get away with pre vcra. I remember going down to wolf armouries with a hard guitar case and buying whatever. Left the boxes in store and put them in the case as it was less obvious on the tube. Different times. Actually the ritual was walk in with my brother, try some stuff on the range, pop next door for an epic kebab and think. Then go back into wolf to purchase the one we chose. Good Times!

You want shady, remember special airsoft supplies? He had quite the reputation for parcels at one point.

I'm about 20 years in now. Good fun in the old day. £300 for a TM M4, that had about a 5 piece barrel held together with grub screws, 2 piece hop unit and lugs that would break if you ever opened it up. To this day... Famas am best gun. Airsoft dynamics was an absolute shit show but had a good player gallery. There seemed to be a lot more variety. When a new gun came out it was often a different weapon rather than a new varient. There was also some great kits if you wanted to put the work in. Anyone remember smokey's? That used to be the only way to get a 74 or something exotic like a Swedish K. UZI's were plentiful, midcaps didn't exist and AEG's were all the rage getting rid of those annoying guns that required external air tanks... Won't see the likes of those again... Sun project Xm177's... Old technology long forgotten... No sir never again... Thanks Marui man!

That's a good point. Generally if using my LCT ak I run mids, but I also have one hicap on me for a "holy shit it's the whole team and I'm about to get charged" moment.

Why specifically 5 and 5? If its to fill out pouches get a couple of hicaps and some wood blocks, then see how you get on. Battle maracas are generally masked by the sound of shooting anyway. Personal preference is towards midcaps and a speed loader.

Well you say that... If its accurate enough semi should be fine. I've held my own with a trishot and that's ten to a reload. Skirmish wise you'd probably be better off with a 20rnd single shot rifle that an UZI spitting bbs everywhere. I mean realistically any gbbr is at a disadvantage firepower wise. But half the ammo twice the fun!

Sod the FAL, the northeast UZI has reappeared!

I always thought that would make a better weapon than a bayonet. A group of paras charging at you screaming with a rubber cock mounted on the end of their rifle would certainly make me think twice about how much I really wanted to hold my position!

At awa if it mid throw let it fly. If its just struck and you get hit you drop it at your feet. Had this before. One good sniper shot resulted in taking four of us with a friendly grenade. Was a good laugh!

An old claymore bag and good pair of boots is worth more that an airsoft plate carrier. Medical supplies and MRE's are what you want to donate. Either funds for, or the items. As for looking like a pro... In a group of local malitia the last thing I would want is to look like some HVT or advisor! I would much rather have a feild dressing and something to eat if I made it through the day.
